The sweetness from the sugar has long since disappeared; now only bitterness remains.
For a little girl who is almost ten years old, what she sees is taken as fact.
Zhao Mei was disappointed in him.
No matter what, she was her daughter, so naturally she loved her dearly.
But Ruan Dongxue's head was somehow made of tofu, and she kept causing trouble for her every day.
"I'm calling you stupid, you can't even walk properly and fall into a ditch? Can't you just shut up? If you cause me any more trouble, I'll send you to the hospital to be with your dad."
Ruan Dongxue was unwilling to go to the hospital.
It's so noisy outside.
Ruan Meiying wished she could rush out and sew the mouths of the two people outside shut.
She gave Lu Hongming an awkward smile.
Outside, Zhao Mei refused to touch Ruan Dongxue's clothes.
It stinks.
He picked up a ladle, scooped up some water, and splashed it directly onto Ruan Dongxue.
When Ruan Dongxue was splashed with water, she angrily shouted, "Mom, are you even my mother? How could you treat me like this?"
"How am I not your mother? I raised you and your sisters, and now you're questioning me?"
It's so noisy outside.
Lu Hongming felt a headache coming on.
Ruan Meiying quickly lifted the curtain.
She hadn't said anything yet.
As soon as Zhao Mei saw her, she said, "Meiying, I've taken care of everything, and I've spent the money. That guy said he'll definitely..."
Ruan Meiying's face was almost bloodless. She glared at her fiercely and stopped her, saying, "What are you saying? The hospital doesn't have enough money again? I'll think of something later."
Zhao Mei finally realized something was wrong.
He looked toward Nguyen My Anh.
Nguyen My Anh's mouth was almost crooked down to below her ear.
It's an implication that someone is in her house.
"Auntie, my boyfriend is here to pick me up."
Object?
Her son-in-law has arrived!
Zhao Mei was overjoyed.
He shoved the water ladle in his hand directly into Ruan Dongxue's hands: "You're a grown woman, wash yourself."
After saying that, she turned and went inside.
Lu Hongming, however, went outside.
Handsome...
The young man looked refined and scholarly, clearly someone who had received an education.
It's really good.
Zhao Mei was overjoyed.
"Wow, this is the future..."
Just as she was about to mention her son-in-law, Ruan Meiying interrupted her.
"Auntie, Hongming is here. What would you like to make something delicious?"
There are just so many things to eat.
Zhao Mei now wished she could bring out all her culinary skills to impress the young man in front of her.
They happily went to buy things.
Ruan Dongxue was covered in dirt, and when she suddenly saw her handsome future brother-in-law, she was furious.
How come her second sister is so lucky?
Suddenly... just like that guy said, he flew up to the top of a tree and became a phoenix.
She wanted it too.
She immediately washed the dirty water off herself and went back inside to change her clothes.
The yard was full of dirty water.
Ruan Meiying turned back to Lu Hongming and smiled apologetically: "That's just how it is in places like this, please don't take it personally."
Lu Hongming wasn't surprised.
He just felt sorry for Nguyen My Anh who lived in such a place but was not corrupted by them.
He liked Nguyen Mei Ying very much; she was beautiful, intelligent, sensible, and grateful.
Such people are truly rare.
...
Meanwhile, after Ruan Qingling finished shopping and bought a small toy for Ya Ya, she went to the bus stop.
The shuttle bus arrived a little late today.
But I still managed to get on the bus smoothly.
We drove all the way back to Sanli Town.
Ruan Qingling went straight home without stopping for a moment.
They quickly put the medicine in a pot and started boiling it.
I also need to make some soup for Song Shiting.
Fortunately, she had just returned from the city and had everything prepared.
...
Song Shiting glanced outside the door.
Ruan Qingling went out early in the morning, and it's already past noon.
There are only a few buses running from the city to the town; if you miss one, it's difficult to get back.
Today, Lao Wu is acting as a caregiver, dealing with the patient's medical needs and also taking time to check on Song Shiting to see if he has any special requirements.
They were also extremely busy.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw Song Shiting looking outside, as if searching for something.
He burst out laughing instantly.
"You're turning into a statue waiting for your wife."
Song Shiting looked at Lao Wu with a cold gaze.
Old Wu chuckled fearlessly.
"They say that everything in this world has its counter, and now you've finally found that sense of belonging."
Song Shiting remained silent.
Old Wu said, "Stop looking. He's not back yet. What do you want to eat? Should I go get you a bowl of plain porridge or noodle soup?"
Song Shiting remained silent.
Old Wu said, "As a patient, you should be self-aware, rest well, and eat well."
Song Shiting looked intently at Lao Wu.
I find him annoying because he's so noisy.
"Aren't you going back to work?"
Old Wu: "I'm doing this because someone asked me to, and I'm doing my duty to prevent Xiao Ruan from not supplying me with medicine."
Song Shiting: "..."
Ruan Qingling arrived after Lao Wu returned with the porridge.
It carries fragrant chicken soup and bitter Chinese medicine.
Song Shiting looked at her.
My hair was wet with sweat and stuck to my forehead.
Holding a thermos and an enamel mug, she greeted Lao Wu with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Wu."
Old Wu waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, don't forget your promise."
After saying that, he wisely left.
Song Shiting asked, "Did you go home to make soup after you came back?"
Ruan Qingling nodded: "Yes, the heat wasn't quite right. Next time, I'll bring a small stove and brew the medicine outside."
It's complicated, but not impossible.
Ruan Qingling told Song Shiting about this.
"I'll quickly boil the medicine for you. Let's see if we can put a small stove here so it's more convenient to boil the medicine right by the door."
Song Shiting said, "No need for that. Once I can get out of bed, I'll go home and rest."
Ruan Qingling no longer believed that someone like Song Shiting could rest.
Once he gets home, he'll probably still have to go to work.
Moreover, the people in my workplace are so narrow-minded. Many of them think that if a person stays in the hospital, they are being treated and are not fully recovered. If they go home, it means they have recovered, and if they don't go back to work, it's considered extremely disrespectful.
The same thing happened last time. As soon as Song Shiting got back, Zhao Dongsheng called him back to work, didn't he?
They said they were short-staffed and would only be doing simple tasks.
Once you get to that kind of place, are there any easy jobs?
Therefore, Ruan Qingling now firmly disagrees.
"Drink the soup first."
When Song Shiting saw that she was unwilling to talk about it, he frowned slightly.
He didn't move.
Ruan Qingling put the straw into the bowl and handed it over.
To make it easier for Song Shiting to drink, Ruan Qingling had to bend down.
As he bent down, Song Shiting caught a glimpse of what lay beneath her neckline.
He pursed his lips.
Ruan Qingling, unaware of the temperature, said, "The temperature is just right, have a sip."
Song Shiting took a small sip and said, "It's a bit salty."
Ruan Qingling was puzzled; it shouldn't be like that.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Song Shiting said, "Give it a try."
Ruan Qingling took a sip herself and felt fine. She asked in surprise, "Are you feeling hot and bothered?"
Song Shiting said, "I don't know, it just tastes a bit salty."
He knew that Ruan Qingling had brought the soup over before even drinking it.
The soup was delicious.
His gaze lingered on the spot where her lips had touched, and his eyes darkened slightly...
